<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I am seeking information on when everyone confers degrees for students completing course requirements in block terms. Right now, Southeastern confers degrees three times a year: December, May, and August.
This is with one official graduation/degree date for each term—even if the student completed requirements in the first half of the “parent” term and/or were conferred late for the term. Since we offer two block terms within a traditional 16 week “parent”
term, we are being asked to consider conferring degrees at the end of the first 8-week block and again at the end of the traditional term. Since we’ve never done things that way before, I wanted to see what everyone else is doing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
